The instructions for building the improved EV3 Competition Robot by Mic Lowne

This incredibly compact SPIKE Prime Box Robot is made for competitions like FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and World Robotics Olympiad (WRO). Whakatae (from Maori's word "whakataetae", which means "competitive") is long 17 LEGO units and is with a width of 15 LEGO units. In front of the wheels it has two color sensors which it uses to align. Whakatae also has two Large motors for moving and has two medium motors for attachments!

It's has "V2" in its name, because it's the second version of Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Competition Box robot. The difference between the two is that the first one can be built with only a Large Motor and a Color sensor in addition to the Base set, while this one needs an additional ball bearing. This provides this robot with a lot more stability and can be seen as a true upgrade to the first version.

This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed to accomplish M07 Kraken’s Treasure and M06 Raise the Mast from the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It features a passive treasure chest collecting mechanism and uses hooks to restrict the inertia-driven movement of the Mast, allowing fast movements without triggering it prematurely.

Note: This robot contains wheels that are from the NXT set.

This set of two attachments for the Nautiq robot is designed to collect and deliver the scuba diver for M01 Coral Nursery and M04 Scuba Diver, collect the shark for M02 Shark, and flip the coral reef for M03 Coral Reef in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. One attachment is mounted from above, and the other from below, allowing efficient execution of multiple missions in a single run.

Attachment frames are used on Base Robot Chassis to make it easier to add and remove attachments very fast. This frame is for the Box Robot 1. It is a single module build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts and it could handle attachment on all sides. 

This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed to accomplish M10 Send over the Submersible in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It uses a gear mechanism to lift a LEGO axle, allowing the submarine to slide to the other side.

This is a frame for the SUV Box Robot. Tis frame is an adapter between the robot and the attachments. You can add-in several attachments on it and mount them on the robot simultaneously with one movement.

The frame has two locks that make the attachments stick to the robot. Also the front Knobs must not be used for very powerful activities due to jumpings, unless the frame with attachments become heavy enough to prevent any jumping of the frame.

This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed to collect the Plankton and Seabed Sample, deliver the Unknown Creature, and accomplish M11 Sonar Discovery in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It enables multiple tasks to be completed efficiently in a single run.

This modification of the box robot contains large wheels. It was specially requested by you and we have it.

This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed to collect the Krill, the Reef Segments, and the Water Sample, while accomplishing M05 and M10 in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It combines multiple functions to complete several missions efficiently in a single run.

Frame for adding attachments on the robot. When using a frame it is very easy to quickly add and remove pinless attachments from the robot. The whole frame could be removed.

The frame contains parts from LEGO Mindstorms EV3.
